Today is all about discovering why Bangkok is considered the street food capital of the world, and there’s no better place to start than right here at the Bedrooms Boutique Cafe. Before we head out, you'll want to fuel up on a classic Thai-style breakfast.\n\nIf you're looking for an authentic start, try the savory congee or the Thai-style eggs; they provide a great base for the spices we’ll encounter later today. If you prefer something familiar, the buffet also offers a variety of international options to ensure you're well-prepared for a day of walking and tasting.\n\nBangkok’s food culture is deeply rooted in its history as a major trading hub, where Chinese, Indian, and Malay influences have merged with local Thai traditions to create something truly unique. As you enjoy your coffee on the terrace, notice the bustling energy of the street just outside—those vendors you see are already prepping the very ingredients that make this city’s aroma so unmistakable.\n\nOnce you've had your fill and are ready to begin your culinary adventure, grab your hat and some water. We're starting our first tasting just a few steps from the hotel front door, where one of Thailand's most beloved morning snacks is waiting.\n\n","type":"text"}]},{"address":"Hotel Amber Sukhumvit 85","location":{"latitudeDelta":0.09219986310369421,"latitude":13.702677903871974,"longitudeDelta":0.11094716860144538,"longitude":100.60351710000002},"placeId":"ChIJp0T3su6f4jAR3nuFPvUb18g","media":[{"content":"https://images.pexels.com/photos/1731535/pexels-photo-1731535.jpeg?auto=compress&cs=tinysrgb&dpr=2&h=650&w=940","type":"img"},{"content":"As you step out onto the sidewalk of Sukhumvit Road, your senses are immediately greeted by a quintessential Bangkok aroma: the sweet, smoky scent of charcoal-grilled meat. You are standing near the entrance of Soi 85, a local hotspot for one of Thailand’s most beloved street snacks, Moo Ping.\n\nLook for the small carts with plumes of white smoke rising from a narrow grill. Moo Ping consists of thin slices of pork shoulder marinated in a rich blend of coconut milk, cilantro root, garlic, and white pepper, then threaded onto bamboo skewers. The magic happens on the grill, where the coconut milk caramelizes, creating a charred, sweet-and-savory glaze that keeps the meat incredibly tender.\n\nTo eat like a local, you must pair your skewers with a small bag of Khao Niew, or warm sticky rice. The texture is key—the rice is translucent and chewy, perfect for soaking up the juices from the pork. Take a small pinch of the rice with your fingers, follow it with a bite of the pork, and notice how the sweetness of the marinade balances the earthy smoke from the charcoal.\n\nThis isn't just a snack; it is the fuel that powers Bangkok's morning commute. For many locals, a couple of skewers and a bag of rice tucked into a plastic bag is the essential start to a busy day. It represents the simplicity and efficiency of Thai street food culture—delicious, portable, and crafted with techniques passed down through generations. Take a moment to enjoy these few bites while watching the city wake up around you.\n\n","type":"text"}]},{"address":"Sukhumvit 77/1 Alley","location":{"longitude":100.60073774999998,"latitudeDelta":0.09219986310369421,"longitudeDelta":0.11094716860144538,"latitude":13.708108553873585},"placeId":"El9Tb2kgU3VraHVtdml0IDc3LzEsIEtod2FlbmcgUGhyYSBLaGFub25nIE51ZWEsIFdhdHRoYW5hLCBLcnVuZyBUaGVwIE1haGEgTmFraG9uIDEwMTEwLCBUaGFpbGFuZCIuKiwKFAoSCVsfGnDqn-IwEcmjREbs67FhEhQKEgmVbGPyuJ_iMBHwj-JdsgABBA","media":[{"content":"https://images.pexels.com/photos/35358037/pexels-photo-35358037.jpeg?auto=compress&cs=tinysrgb&dpr=2&h=650&w=940","type":"img"},{"content":"Welcome to Sukhumvit Soi 77/1, a narrow alleyway that serves as a hidden culinary artery for the On Nut neighborhood. While the main roads are filled with modern malls, this 'soi' remains a bastion of traditional street food.\n\nRight at the entrance, you’ll find Racha Fishball Noodles. This stall is a local legend, having moved here about 10 years ago after decades of serving hungry crowds in the Pratunam district. The owner is a fifth-generation noodle maker, and his family is famous across Bangkok for their secret fishball recipe.\n\nThe specific thing you must try here is a bowl of their Yong Tau Foo (pink noodle soup). Don't let the vibrant pink color surprise you—it comes from fermented red bean curd, which gives the broth a unique, addictive sweetness and a slightly tangy kick.\n\nThe star of the bowl, however, is the fishballs. Made purely from ikan parang (wolf herring) with no flour fillers, they are incredibly soft and 'bouncy'—a texture Thais call deng. You’ll also find pieces of fried tofu, crispy wonton skins, and perhaps a cube of pig’s blood, which is a traditional addition for depth of flavor.\n\nAs you sit on a simple stool and watch the steam rise from the giant boiling pots, you are experiencing a recipe that has been refined over five generations. It is the perfect 'small bowl' taste—light enough that you'll still have plenty of room for our next stop, but flavorful enough to show you why some locals eat here every single day.\n\nOnce you’ve finished your noodles, we’ll head just a bit further down the road to a shop that has been perfecting a single, hearty dish for over 40 years.\n\n","type":"text"}]},{"address":"30 Soi Sukhumvit 77","location":{"latitude":13.709280803873925,"latitudeDelta":0.09219986310369421,"longitude":100.6003115,"longitudeDelta":0.1094105042163838},"placeId":"EmAzMCBTb2kgU3VraHVtdml0IDc3LCBLaHdhZW5nIFBocmEgS2hhbm9uZyBOdWVhLCBXYXR0aGFuYSwgS3J1bmcgVGhlcCBNYWhhIE5ha2hvbiAxMDExMCwgVGhhaWxhbmQiMBIuChQKEgntWkYrwJ_iMBGZVN_FvmXIMxAeKhQKEgk5uScowJ_iMBG-kHvw3-KeJA","media":[{"content":"https://images.pexels.com/photos/35398779/pexels-photo-35398779.jpeg?auto=compress&cs=tinysrgb&dpr=2&h=650&w=940","type":"img"},{"content":"You are now standing in front of a true neighborhood institution. This shop has been simmering the same signature dish for over 40 years, and once you catch the aroma of the star anise and cinnamon drifting from those massive stainless steel pots, you’ll understand why it’s never empty.\n\nThis is the home of Khao Kha Moo, or stewed pork leg. The pork is slow-braised for hours in a rich, dark soy-based broth until the meat is so tender it practically falls apart at the touch of a spoon. The skin becomes gelatinous and melt-in-your-mouth, absorbing all the deep, savory spices of the stock.\n\nFor your tasting here, you must try a small plate of the Khao Kha Moo with an egg. The egg is hard-boiled and then simmered in the same pork broth, giving it a beautiful brown hue and a savory flavor. Most importantly, make sure to add a spoonful of the pickled mustard greens and the fresh cloves of garlic and small bird's eye chilies found on the table. The acidity of the pickles and the sharp kick of the raw garlic are essential for cutting through the richness of the fatty pork.\n\nAs you eat, notice the constant rhythm of the shop—the 'thwack' of the cleaver on the wooden chopping block and the steady stream of locals picking up bags of pork to take home. This isn't just food; it’s a craft perfected over four decades, tucked away right here in On Nut.\n\nOnce you’ve enjoyed this hearty classic, we’re going to head just one stop down the BTS line to a vibrant outdoor hub for a multi-dish lunch.\n\n","type":"text"}]},{"address":"1595 Sukhumvit Rd","location":{"longitude":100.59712280000001,"latitudeDelta":0.09219986310369421,"latitude":13.711046003874452,"longitudeDelta":0.1094105042163838},"placeId":"EmExNTk1IFN1a2h1bXZpdCBSZCwgS2h3YWVuZyBQaHJhIEtoYW5vbmcsIEtoZXQgS2hsb25nIFRvZWksIEtydW5nIFRoZXAgTWFoYSBOYWtob24gMTAxMTAsIFRoYWlsYW5kIjESLwoUChIJc9S-d8Cf4jARbhvhQOVu0LAQuwwqFAoSCXOPGHmxPAMxEQYUJK58G7gZ","media":[{"content":"https://images.pexels.com/photos/19995298/pexels-photo-19995298.jpeg?auto=compress&cs=tinysrgb&dpr=2&h=650&w=940","type":"img"},{"content":"After your morning of 'sidewalk snacks,' it's time for a proper sit-down lunch at the W District. This is a vibrant outdoor art and food space that feels like a hidden courtyard in the middle of the city.\n\nThe specific dish you need to try here is Som Tam (Papaya Salad) paired with Gai Yang (Grilled Chicken). This is the soul food of Northeastern Thailand. You’ll find a vendor here preparing it fresh in a clay mortar and pestle. Watch as they bruise fresh lime, chilies, garlic, and green papaya together to create a flavor profile that is simultaneously sour, salty, sweet, and spicy.\n\nTo cool down the heat of the salad, enjoy the smoky, tender grilled chicken. This combination is a Thai favorite for lunch because it’s light yet incredibly satisfying. Take your time to enjoy the open-air atmosphere and the eclectic street art surrounding the tables. It’s a great spot to people-watch and rest your feet before we continue our flavor journey just a short distance away.\n\n","type":"text"}]},{"address":"Pridi Banomyong 3 Alley","location":{"latitudeDelta":0.09219986310369421,"longitudeDelta":0.1094105042163838,"longitude":100.59341129999999,"latitude":13.71522870387568},"placeId":"EmJTb2kgUHJpZGkgQmFub215b25nIDMsIEtod2FlbmcgUGhyYSBLaGFub25nIE51ZWEsIFdhdHRoYW5hLCBLcnVuZyBUaGVwIE1haGEgTmFraG9uIDEwMTEwLCBUaGFpbGFuZCIuKiwKFAoSCccycjG5n-IwEWkz7nBS2II0EhQKEgmVbGPyuJ_iMBHwj-JdsgABBA","media":[{"content":"https://images.pexels.com/photos/31412386/pexels-photo-31412386.jpeg?auto=compress&cs=tinysrgb&dpr=2&h=650&w=940","type":"img"},{"content":"Welcome to the bustling Sukhumvit Soi 71, an area known to locals as 'Pridi.' You are here to taste a dish with a history as deep as its broth: Kuay Teow Reua, or Boat Noodles.\n\nThe name isn't just a marketing gimmick. In old Bangkok, when the city was a network of canals known as the 'Venice of the East,' vendors sold these noodles directly from small rowing boats. To prevent the hot soup from spilling onto the vendor or the customer as the boat rocked, the portions were kept intentionally small. This tradition continues today—the bowls are tiny, designed to be finished in just two or three bites, allowing you to try many different combinations.\n\nThe specific thing to try here is the Nam Tok broth. This is a rich, dark, and intensely flavorful soup seasoned with cinnamon, star anise, and a splash of pig’s blood, which acts as a thickening agent to give the broth a creamy, silky texture. You can choose your noodle type—the thin, chewy rice noodles (Sen Lek) are a classic choice—and your protein, usually tender slices of pork or beef.\n\nWhen the bowl arrives, don’t reach for the sugar or fish sauce right away. Taste the broth first; it’s a complex balance of salty, sour, and spicy. For the full experience, grab a side of crispy pork cracklings (Khao Kriap) or fried basil to drop into the soup for an added crunch.\n\nNotice the stacks of empty bowls on the tables around you. It’s a local sport to see how many bowls one can finish in a single sitting. Since this is a tasting tour, one or two bowls is perfect, leaving just enough room for something sweet as the day winds down.\n\n","type":"text"}]},{"address":"Soi Sukhumvit 77","location":{"latitude":13.70939700387395,"latitudeDelta":0.09219986310369421,"longitudeDelta":0.1094105042163838,"longitude":100.6004187},"placeId":"El1Tb2kgU3VraHVtdml0IDc3LCBLaHdhZW5nIFBocmEgS2hhbm9uZyBOdWVhLCBXYXR0aGFuYSwgS3J1bmcgVGhlcCBNYWhhIE5ha2hvbiAxMDExMCwgVGhhaWxhbmQiLiosChQKEgk5uScowJ_iMBG-kHvw3-KeJBIUChIJlWxj8rif4jAR8I_iXbIAAQQ","media":[{"content":"https://images.pexels.com/photos/9598911/pexels-photo-9598911.jpeg?auto=compress&cs=tinysrgb&dpr=2&h=650&w=940","type":"img"},{"content":"As our culinary journey through the neighborhood comes to a close, it’s time for Thailand’s most iconic dessert: Khao Niew Mamuang, or Mango Sticky Rice. You’ll find this stall nestled among the evening vendors near the start of On Nut Road.\n\nThe magic of this dish lies in its perfect balance of textures and temperatures. The sticky rice is steamed and then soaked in a rich mixture of coconut milk, sugar, and a pinch of salt while still warm, making it incredibly creamy and sweet. It’s served alongside chilled slices of Nam Dok Mai mango—a variety famous for its fiberless, buttery texture and intense floral sweetness.\n\nBefore you take a bite, notice the small packet of thick coconut cream and the sprinkle of toasted yellow mung beans. Drizzle the cream over the rice and scatter the beans on top; they provide a crucial salty contrast and a nutty crunch that cuts through the richness of the fruit.\n\nIn Thai culture, mango sticky rice is traditionally a seasonal treat enjoyed during the hottest months when mangoes are at their peak, but here in the city’s bustling markets, it’s a year-round celebration of local produce. Take a moment to enjoy this sweet finale on the sidewalk, watching the neighborhood transition into its vibrant night-time energy.\n\n","type":"text"}]},{"address":"The Bedrooms Boutique Hotel","location":{"latitudeDelta":0.09219986310369421,"longitudeDelta":0.1094105042163838,"latitude":13.709294803873917,"longitude":100.6022717},"placeId":"ChIJ12EK9TW94jARMbiRzU6Un6E","media":[{"content":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2FHaOfAl2rnZK8BpuaKsqN%2Foutdoor-night-town-restaurant-city-summer-690271-pxhere.com.jpg?alt=media&token=db7aa531-da06-4a3b-b39d-f456e035bab8","type":"img"},{"content":"You’ve made it back!
